Happy May Wildcat families!

On behalf of the teachers, I want to thank all of you for your kindness to our faculty and staff during Teacher Appreciation Week and always!

As we enter the final stretch of the school year, there are many exciting events on the horizon. If you haven't done so already, please register for our summer program, as space is currently limited. Additionally, we will be conducting end-of-year assessments throughout this month and encourage you to support your child's progress by reading together at home each evening.

Hello Wildcat community,

As you will see throughout this edition of the newsletter, our students continue to engage in an incredible variety of learning opportunities both inside and outside the classroom. Recently, I have had the privilege of representing our school at several conferences, and it has been an absolute pleasure to highlight the amazing work taking place here at WRVMS and throughout our district.

The school year is winding down and there are many activities, traditions and celebrations that are an important part of the school year. For the class of 2026 there are only 3 weeks of classes remaining before finals begin. This weekend the Class of 2026 will embark on their Senior Class Trip to East Rutherford NJ with plans to enjoy dinner and entertainment at Medieval Times as well as a day at the Nickelodeon Universe Indoor Theme Park. This trip kicks off a string of important events and activities such as Senior Cap and Gown Breakfast, Spring Carnival and Seniors vs Staff Softball Game, Prom, Bachelorette, and finally Graduation!

NESA is also launching a full NESA Ballet program for the 2026-2027 school year. Families interested in ballet are invited to participate in the June Ballet Series, which will introduce students to the program and help guide future class placement.
